I mentioned earlier that I want to be more mindful about my shopping, most of which is done online. I’ve also noticed recently that I’ve been rethinking or changing sizes on several purchases.
- bought a Lafayette 148 suit and swore the pants fit, but 2 weeks later decided it’s better to go up a size and tailor down,
- pulled tags on an AT factory cardigan, then realized it’s just too heavy for me
- ordered a sweater dress and cardigan, but 3 weeks later still haven’t reached for them.

So, in an effort to be more mindful, I’m going to make myself put new purchases in a closet holding space for at least a week (date depends on return policy). This will give me a chance to put away the sales goggles and make sure this is something that really needs to be added to my wardrobe.

Anyone else have a similar problem? How do you address it?
